After five events during the California swing, the Outlaws have three wins and the Locals/Invaders have two wins. When it comes to top ten finishes the Outlaws have twenty-six and the Locals/Invaders have twenty four. Split hairs anyway you want, but I'm considering Saldana as Outlaw even though the arguement could be made he's an invader. Either way, the California swing has been interesting in that the wins have been pretty well split evenly among the tracks, but the top tens are a different story. The Outlaws have one win each at Silver Dollar, Placerville and Calistoga. The Locals/Invaders have one win each at Silver Dollar and Calistoga. The top tens though are quite different. The Outlaws have six at SiverDollar, the Locals/Invaders have fourteen. Both have five top tens at Placerville. When it comes to Calistoga, the Outlaws have fifteen and the Locals/Invaders have five. That's quite a contrast between Silver Dollar and Calistoga. It could be argued by some that the car counts were down at Calistoga which gave the Outlaws an advantage, the experts will have to say what key drivers may have been missing, but the facts are the facts regardless.
It'll be interesting to see how things break down during the upcoming PA swing.

those are great stats. im thinking the young CA guns are competitive where ever they travel to!
as far as stoga half milers are great for horsepower and huge sliders but...
Ascot was the greatest of all time..
West Capital wasn't half bad either..
Life is good...

I'd bet so. After the way he has performed on a part time basis this year, it's hard to believe he can't secure a ride. But then I have no idea what he may have for personal funds to open some doors, and sadly that seems to be what it takes.

It's really unfortunate what happened to TK up at Calistoga on the off day.
Most likley wont be seeing him in a car for the rest of season I would think.

had a good conversation with Tim at Howard Kaeding Classic @ Ocean Speedway back in july, told him he seems way more at ease nowadays, he says before he was racing for a living, now he cleans pools & mostly races on weekends and its fun again. That plus he has his 2 whys, Sheree & Tannyn, changing his perspective. I love it, been a big fan since he was a teenager, to see him get to this point in his career. He even says it on podium interviews, " 10 years ago i woulda wadded up me & the other guy I was slidin', but that's changed". That's not to say he would'nt like to have a ride more steady tho. One of those rare drivers, no matter when or where he shows up, a threat to win
